Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Advertising on the smartphone screen additionally drains the battery 30.03.2012

Users are sometimes faced with the rapid discharge of the battery of their smartphone. Interestingly, the only thing that can often increase the autonomy of a device is the purchase of paid versions of the mobile applications used. According to the latest research, on average 75% of the energy used by free versions of Android mobile apps is spent serving ads or tracking/downloading user data: sometimes just launching an app is enough to drain your battery in 90 minutes.

Abhinav Pathak, a computer scientist at Purdue University in Indiana, and his colleagues made the discovery by developing custom software to account for the power consumption of installed Android apps. When experts tracked the behavior of popular programs like Angry Birds, Free Chess, and NYTimes, they found that freeware only spends 10-30% on its core functionality.

For example, Angry Birds consumes only 20% of the energy for displaying and playing the game, while 45% is spent on GPS detecting the user's location data and downloading it via a 3G connection. The 3G connection remains active even 10 seconds after the end of the download, which takes another 28% of the energy consumed by the application. Mr. Pathak blames the exceptional energy cost on the inefficient code that developers use in their apps to profit from ads.
